The Power Macintosh 7600 is a personal computer designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Computer from April 1996 to November 1997. It succeeded the Power Macintosh 7500 as the mid-range computer, but used a more powerful PowerPC 604 processor running at 120, 132, or 200 MHz. Like the 7500, the 7600 included RCA audio input and output, S-Video input, composite video input, and Apple video ports. It used the Outrigger desktop case introduced with the Power Macintosh 7500.
By November 1997, the Power Macintosh 7300 succeeded the 7600 as the company's mid-range offering.
